Etape 2
Choix du bardage
There are two choices for the exterior material of your Woodcab, both of which are ventilated openwork cladding with alternating 7 cm battens (2.4 cm thick) and 1 cm gaps :
1. Wood cladding thermotraité
Here, the wood has been heated to a high temperature to make it rot-proof. The process, which does not involve the addition of chemicals, causes a definitive physical and chemical change in the components of the wood. This results in a change in colour, increased dimensional stability and greater resistance to fungi and wood-eating insects. The wood is treated throughout.
2. Burnt larch wood cladding
Using the ancient Japanese ‘Shou sugi Ban’ technique (burnt + brushed + oiled). This treatment provides protection against insects, rot and sunlight. The dark colour remains stable over time and the durability of the cladding can exceed 20 years.
